1. 1. Unlocking the Potential of Solar-Hydro Hybrid Solutions: Feasibility and Economic Analysis

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

   Author : Måns Rosberg; [2023]
   Keywords : Hydropower; Solarpower; Hybrid power production; Solar-hydro hybrid power; Reservoir storage; Energy storage; Pumped hydro power; Floating PV; PV; Photovoltaics; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Hybrid solutions that combine multiple renewable energy sources, such as solar power and hydro power, are gaining popularity as a means of meeting the growing energy demands while minimising environmental impacts, but also as an opportunity of connecting solar power plants to the grid in areas where this might not be possible unless large investments are made. This master thesis aims to evaluate the feasibility and economic viability of integrating solar panels with an existing grid connection point at a hydro power plant, along with the introduction of an energy storage solution using a hydro power plant reservoir.

3. 2. A Climate, Land, Energy, and Water Nexus Assessment of Ethiopia

   University essay from KTH/Energisystem

   Author : Pegah Atarian; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Ethiopia is a landlocked country located in northeast Africa with a predominantly rural population dependent on rainfed agriculture and traditional biomass. The Ethiopian economy is growing fast and as it continues to grow, so does the demand for water, food, and energy. READ MORE

4. 3. Financing the Nordic Energy Transition: An Empirical Analysis of Leverage, Pricing and Return Expectations in Renewable Energy Transactions

   University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för finansiell ekonomi

   Author : Franziska Grünthaner; [2023]
   Keywords : Buyouts; Leverage; Valuation; Renewable Energy; Infrastructure Investment;

   Abstract : This study examines whether leverage and pricing in transactions of renewable energy infrastructure assets are impacted by the same factors that have been found to determine financial structures in buyout transactions. It primarily draws on a proprietary data set of 261 wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) transactions in the Nordics between 2011 and 2023 and explores the effect of acquirer-, asset-, and industry-specific characteristics as well as time-varying variables on leverage, pricing and return expectations.

5. 4. System impact of micro-production

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Industriell elektroteknik och automation

   Author : Annie Haraldsson; [2023]
   Keywords : Fault ride through; LVRT; micro-production; solar production; photovoltaics; fault simulation; network modeling; power system disturbances; PMU-registrations; fault analysis; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The focus in this thesis has been active power from small scale solar production and what possible impacts an increased proportion of small scale production can have, in a larger context, during short circuit (SC) faults in the grid. The main research question prompting this work was whether active power from small scale solar pro- duction can help support voltages during SC faults, and meet LVRT-requirements in the RfG.

6. 5. Life Cycle Perspective on School Buildings’ Energy Retrofitting

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Maryam Kafashtehrani; [2022]
   Keywords : School; building; LCA; IDA-ICE; energy retrofitting; insulation; ventilation; photovoltaic; PV; GHG;

   Abstract : The building sector contributes substantial energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Energy efficiency is the main driver for the mitigation of climate change. Schools are placed with high energy consumption and GHG emitting. READ MORE
